  Colleen Dewhurst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colleen Dewhurst (born June 3, 1924; died August 22, 1991) was a Canadian-born actress best known for playing Marilla Cuthbert in the various Anne of Green Gables productions from Sullivan Entertainment.
She was president of the Actors' Equity Association from 1985 until her 1991 death from cervical cancer at the age of 67, which might have been cured but for Dewhurst's Christian Science beliefs and her refusal to countenance any kind of surgical treatment.
She referred to George C. Scott as "a wife beater" on one occasion, and he was known for his violence towards other women in his life as well, such as his one-time lover Ava Gardner and his last wife, Trish Vandevere.
